Safety sliders are more effective than any motorcycle gear.😂 I've fallen off a couple times doing about 20-25mph and walked away each time with just a few bruises on my leg. I Just wear a cycle helmet and jogging bottoms 😂

Had 42 out of mine, 52v 1000w hub on the flat. Takes off like a rocket and i love it. Mate built it for me and dont cost hardly nothing to charge. Does 40 miles distance at various speeds, and use an old battery to get extra 20 miles when good battery dead. Wouldnt be without it now.😊

[@connicrow9463]

Seriously? 1000 watt hub wheel / 52V batt? What type of controller that gave you such speeds? I installed a 1500 w rear hub ( Ebikeling ) + 48V 14AH Battery (generic amazon) + 25A Controller on a older 2010 Giant hardtail MTB 26" 2.25 Wide all-terrain tire -- and its max is 32MPH flat road throttle only.

[@mitchelltarpy4289]

My mate built it for me,tampered with the controller, so i cant really answer your question, however there is the possibility the speedos not correct. Im happy with it though, at 55 i dont need to be going faster😊​@@connicrow9463

I got a SYNCH super monkey 20x4 wheels coming (UK Super73 clone) / gonna fit the 1500W Kirbebike kit / got a mate that does custom batteries gonna go 52V 14s 16p 80AH. I get 30 miles from my on mode 2 20-25 MPH from my kit on my 27.5 bike with a battery 4X bigger should be 120 miles. Ordered the rear rack so i can fit a small petrol genny on the back so i can charge on the go. Inspired by some of your crazy builds

I'd love to know your miles per gallon on that. edit: This guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGqlgJp5rteGsKs charges his surron twice on half a gallon and gets 30miles at 30mph = 120mpg 😀

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

​@@warlockboyburnsI've calculated my ebike to do about 350mpg equivalent and that's full throttle going 30+mph everywhere. My old legal bike used to do 40 miles out of a 36v 11.5ah battery the efficiency on that was crazy but it was also hella underpowered. Only a 10amp controller 😂.

Hi Steve I’m Mario in California and I just love you and your genius creativity in building your e-bikes. I hope you continue to build your bikes and community as I’ve told many of my friends about your awesome fast e-bikes. I tried to enter your raffle for this 3000 beautiful bike and when you rode that bike down the road I felt like I was enjoying the same experience of excitement. Thank you for your KZbin videos that make my life very happy watching your journey. Stay well my friend. You are Fantastic. 😂

Omg, that's a super slick build - but wear protection man at that speed!! I was getting anxious looking out for potholes on the road!! Best tell the viewers that level of power isn't legal on the UK roads and it should be used on private roads/land only....to be on the safe side!

It's great how in the UK and US you are permitted to have a decent ebike like this. In Australia we are restricted to shit with bikes and everything else. Can't have anything that goes over 25 km/hr, must be fully non throttle control, so need to pedal for motor to operate. Maximum 250w or 500w (NSW).

Can't seem to comment the link for the petition. If you Google make ebikes 20mph you'll find it. It ends July 17 i think. Would just be good if the community make a point and sign it as we all seem to think it yet no one seems to take action making it happen. And if you and people like Andy put a video out about signing it then it will gain traction, that's what we need. Baby steps and we will soon have normal, idealistic laws.

They will never increase the speed but there was already a government consultation done recently where they're thinking about increasing power to 500w and allowing throttles up to 15.5mph.

Get tires designed for the travel surface. Some people might prefer an eMTB for normal use, but road tires are still best if it's on pavement. Any tires not designed for pavement will wear out many times as fast on pavement, ride isn't as smooth, waste energy on pavement vs smoother tread.

I have a question, I use a wheelchair, I have a Tri-Ride T-Rocks powered assist front wheel that is epic, I can do 30mph and over 20 mile range, doubled by the extra battery I have coming. They do a system that adds 2 powered rear wheels with hub motors that connects to the Tri-Ride controller giving me 3 wheel drive for off road and hills. Could you build me a pair of wheels with hub motors that could connect to my tride, because their system costs £5000 plus battery upgrade of best part of another £1000.

[@anthonysuarez7416]

Nice build!... What's up with going that fast anarchy ride in flip flops (LOL).

[@MarvinWestmaas]

Afaik the 10-12 cassette's all use the same dimensions, the sprockets are just thinner as is the chain ( overall width of the cassette doesn't change ). At least I can change between 10 and 11 without issues, not having tried a 12 but as I said they should be using the same width all 3 of them. I'm mostly using my 15-13-12-11 sprockets in the back though, so I don't know why I would add complexity ( and thinner chains which don't do well with me middrive anyway ) for no real gain. I am actually looking more at either going smaller for a new setup ( less gears overall, but same range between top and bottom ), or even an internal hub in the rear wheel. Alfina 8 speed, more reliable then the 11 speeds and a bit cheaper. Ofc I would love a Roelhoff, but I aint paying 1300 euro's for just a rear hub even if it has a 14 speed internal gearbox. That would be my dream setup I guess, nice powerful enough mid drive coupled with a belt transmission and an roelhoff rear hub. So much less headaches with maintenance, or even possible repairs. And in the end I am sure I would be cheaper of that way, as needing to replace chains+cassete's every ~800km or so on it's own already adds up to lots of costs. Proper belt drive can do tens of thousands even with more power coming from a middrive.

[@MarvinWestmaas]

@@DudeStuff You're still rebuilding them with smaller cassettes if you're shoving in those 2kw hubs or you don't have the clearance in the dropouts. Through axle rear hubs are 142mm vs 141 QR hub's on most budget bikes still. There were some 150mm boost through axle's on some expensive DH bikes, I recon you could shove a hefty motor on one of those and have ample clearing/space for big cassette. Which would mostly come in handy so you can run a gigantic front sprocket so your 11t on the rear stays useful on higher speeds, but you have a really big gear still so you can peddle slowly and keep up with granny behind her walking aid on the narrow pedestrian crossing. Which is mostly only an issue btw if you don't use a throttle and want to feel like your peddling is actually effective in controlling the bike.
